Fresh Lemon Vinaigrette

My friend Trisha asked me to post my recipe for the lemon vinaigrette used for my salad in the March 24 entry, so here it is! What I want to emphasise is that I think salad dressings are very personal. Some people like it more tangy, some like it sweeter, and some like a fairly neutral taste. So the portions below are just a guide. Feel free to modify the portions to your liking!

Sorry I do not have a photo of this one, but I will try to upload it the next time I make the dressing!

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh basil
1/2 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Method
1. Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl, making certain the sugar is dissolved.
2. Store, covered, in the refrigerator. Shake or stir just before serving.
Serves 2.
